Lugo now only has two matches left in the season. We are sitting in 7th three points below Villarreal. I tell you it is going to be nip and tuck. I promoted some really nice youth players from the academy. If we can make the top six next season will be a blast.

Jesus Christ, I was away for maybe two days. You people have got to find something else to do!

Parma has been quite interesting. I got caught up with a deadline and didn't really have much time for a few days. Last night, I got the chance to do a bit of scouting and play my first friendly against Guingamp, but I'm going to wait until I finish the other matches against Malaga and Eibar to pass judgement.

I have made a couple of low-key signings that were needed in defence. These are exactly the kind of players a team on a tight budget would actually go for. I also changed to the 5-2-3 with Biabiany and Cassano flanking Belfodil, who plays with the 'target man' instruction. In midfield, I have Lodi to string together attacks and Acquah to break up opposition play. My wing backs are De Ceglie and Cassani, and in the middle of defence, I have Paletta, Costa and a new defender who'll be revealed in my first proper update. I've also managed to offload ALL my deadwood in July itself!

I've changed my mind about selling Biabiany, but I'm still on the fence about Cassano. He's quite slow for a winger, but his excellent positioning means he's often in the right place at the right time. The guy can pass and cross like a charm, and with a target man like Belfodil in the middle, that could prove useful. At the same time, he's 32 and could decrease in value before I get a chance to offload him for a mint price, so it might be smart to just list him now and take as little as £10 million. Since I still have around £5 million and a ton of wages left, I could easily bring in a quality replacement, but I also want to make one or two more changes in other positions. This is why I said I'd wait until my preseason games are done, or even as late as deadline day after my first league match against Cesena.

Poulka, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. What you do is after setting up the team, you go to the formation you're using and customise. It was square on the PS3, so that should be X on the 360, but just look at the bottom of the screen to be sure. Then you select 'Player Instructions' and assign them to whichever players you want to.

Moose, as a supporter of another club that detests Millwall, I say good job. Never easy to go into The Den and come back with something to show for it, but never tough to tame them at home either.

Cruzerr, good luck with this important exam. I'm sure you'll realise in about 3-5 years that it meant absolutely nothing.

Keano, nice job to wrap up the league so comfortably. Now let's see what you can do with your national team. Tricky group, but you should manage to come second at worst.

Chico, great results as usual. It's quite interesting you wrote that about Ruddy. I was considering bringing him in to replace Ben Foster before he put in that incredible season to send us into the top four. On the other hand, it pains me to see Redmond going to Tottenham.
